Download or read book Brujas written by Lorraine Monteagut and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brujas, Witches of Color are ancestral magical beings and the world we live in has tried to silence our voices. . . . This book is such a beautiful tribute to the different stories and experiences we go through as brujas. . . . Amplify the voice of Witches of Color by reading their stories." —Juliet Diaz, author of Witchery and Plant Witchery There is a new kind of witch emerging in our cultural consciousness: the bruja. Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of BIPOC witches, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, is reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft of today. Brujas chronicles the magical lives of these practitioners as they develop their healing arts, express their progressive politics, and extend their personal rituals into community activism. They are destigmatizing the "witch" of their ancestries and bringing persecuted traditions to the open to challenge cultural appropriation and spiritual consumerism. Part memoir, part ritual guide, Brujas empowers readers to decolonize their spiritual practices and connect with their own ancestors. Brujas reminds us that witchcraft is more than a trend—it's a movement.

Download or read book Witchcraft and Welfare written by Raquel Romberg and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-05-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persecuted as evil during colonial times, considered charlatans during the nation-building era, Puerto Rican brujos (witch-healers) today have become spiritual entrepreneurs who advise their clients not only in consultation with the spirits but also in compliance with state laws and new economic opportunities. Combining trance, dance, magic, and healing practices with expertise in the workings of the modern welfare state, they help lawyers win custody suits, sick employees resolve labor disability claims, single mothers apply for government housing, or corporation managers maximize their commercial skills. Drawing on extensive fieldwork among practicing brujos, this book presents a masterful history and ethnography of Puerto Rican brujería (witch-healing). Raquel Romberg explores how brujería emerged from a blending of popular Catholicism, Afro-Latin religions, French Spiritism, and folk Protestantism and also looks at how it has adapted to changes in state policies and responded to global flows of ideas and commodities. She demonstrates that, far from being an exotic or marginal practice in the modern world, brujería has become an invisible yet active partner of consumerism and welfare capitalism.

Download or read book The Bruja s Sons written by A. E. Gonzales and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04-06 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brujería, or witchcraft, has been, and continues to be, a subculture. All the real and true practitioners of this craft have been secretive for many reasons, not the least of which is the risk of persecution at the hands of frightened and ignorant people. If someone claims to be a bruja openly and/or suggests possession of power, it is most probably not true and they have no understanding of what it really is to be a bruja. The concept of magic or black magic is one of superstitious and misinformed people. There are apparently brujas who use their knowledge to hurt people physically, but this is not done by magic. It is done by manipulating nature to a certain end. There are bad people in all stations of life. A popular misconception is that brujas gather in covens. In truth, brujas are an extremely solitary lot, restricting their members to immediate family, such as the mother who is teaching the daughter. Any particular line of brujas has evolved completely independent of any other line. They may arrive at the same understanding of how nature works and how to manipulate it, but they do it in different ways and at different times. Brujas do not exchange information or share knowledge outside their line; and then only mother to daughter. Because of this, different lines of brujas are in varying stages of development. Some are quite knowledgeable and skillful; others are barely past the curandera (healer) stage. Some lines end, even if they are hundreds of years old, when one bruja makes a mistake or fails to understand something she has discovered and gets killed. All the knowledge gained in that line is then lost forever, gone in the blink of an eye. At the heart of this work is the author's wish to dispel the many myths and stereotypes surrounding brujas and how they interact with society. It seeks to explain how they do the things they do and why people know so little about what they really are. This is a saga of three witches; Esperanza Gomez, Licha Herrera and Leticia Morales. It revolves around Esperanza's two sons, Julian and Arturo, whose fates are intertwined with all three. After their mother sends them away at a tender age for reasons unknown to them, they spend the next twenty years in a search for answers. The many adventures and pitfalls that follow are only a prelude to the final confrontation where Julian and Arturo finally understand why they were sent away; and what they are.
